I'll be in Munich for the next couple of days. Aside from all the common touristy shite, anyone have any advice on things to do for Mrs. TheBeard and myself?

Drink alot of Bavarian beer. Wear Bayern Munich jerseys. You'll fit right in

Paulander Biergarten on Hochstraße, take your dinner outside, there are like picnic tables there, talk to the locals (and other visitors there), drink.

Dachau is right outside of town too. Get there early, the scale of the camp is impressive.

Not knowing your interests makes it difficult to recommend sights, but the Deutsches Museum is definitely worth your time and was relatively unknown to me before I went. If you're a World War II buff you'll dig the aviation exhibit, which houses one of the last ME-262s as well as a complete V-2 rocket and a US made F104 Starfighter sold to the Luftwaffe. Also, what pieces they were able to recover of the Red Baron's Fokker Dr. 1 triplane have been cobbled together with replacements and are displayed there. Tons of early BMW and Mercedes cars and motorcycles as well. I know you said "besides touristy" but I really couldn't recommend the Hofbrau Haus enough, it's impossible to not be happy in that place.
If you want to get out of the city, Berchtesgaden and Hitler's Eagle's Nest are only a relatively short train ride away. Definitely worth seeing if you have the time. Also, if you're a single man the brothels aren't half bad either haha though you have to catch a U-Bahn ride out of the city's historic district to get to them.

Just read the entirety of your post, disregard what I said about the brothels haha apologies and enjoy your stay in Deutschland! Drink plenty of beer, it's the best you'll ever have.
ETA: if your hotel offers a complimentary breakfast, for the love of god avail yourself of it. Also, eat at the train station at least once. Some of the best food in the city. The little white veal sausages wrapped up in a bun with some Thomy mustard and an Augustiner to wash it down simply cannot be beat.

Definitely do Englischer Garten. Just walk around and hit up biergartens therein.

Maybe I can slip the Mrs a benadryl and still heed your advice

I'd say Munich has the best "simple" beer. Just old faithful- crisp, makes you happy, and does the job. Belgium, on the other hand, has the best in terms of complexity, variety, and quality.

You know, believe it or not I actually had some difficulty finding Spaten in Munich haha it was my absolute favorite German beer that I'd had in the states but I believe that regular old Paulaner and Hofbrau Dunkel surpassed it once I had them over there. Shame that no one in Arkansas carries Hofbrau, I cherish my trips to Texas and Missouri because I always bring some back. I fell in love with the radlers while I was there, which I'd never had back home. Grapefruit/lemon soda and beer sounds like a disgusting combination until you try it haha that stuff is the nectar of the Gods! Stiegl's is good, as is the radler at Hofbrau Haus. For the record, I love the Czech beers as well but as my screen name suggests my preference for most things is German haha

Well spoken, I agree 100%. Munich beers are what you envision when you close your eyes and think of the perfect sip of beer. Innovative? Perhaps not. But they've perfected the basic, "vanilla" beer.
